[Zangi]Arrest of a man who is a director of the Zangi Federation who cheats 3 million yen from a TV station co-sponsored by an event “not receiving subsidies” | Hokkaido | News | STV Sapporo TV

The Hokkaido-Sapporo Central Police Station announced on the 17th that it had arrested a man who was the representative director of the Hokkaido Zangi Federation on suspicion of fraud.

Zangi is the name of fried chicken in Hokkaido, and the Hokkaido Zangi Federation is an organization that introduces stores offering Zangi in Hokkaido.

Hideki Kanai (53), the representative director of the Hokkaido Zangi Association, said, “Eat and compare with a gift certificate with a premium!” From the broadcasting station in Hokkaido, TV Hokkaido, around February last year. I was entrusted with the planning of “Zangi Festival”.

This is a support project conducted by Sapporo City for restaurants whose sales have fallen due to the Korona-ka, and participants can purchase a premium gift certificate of 1000 yen and use it for eating and drinking for 1300 yen.

The Hokkaido Zangi Association issued 10,000 of these premium gift certificates for the event, and even though Kanai had already received a subsidy of 3 million yen from Sapporo City, he told TV Hokkaido “money.” I’m in trouble because I haven’t come. I want you to temporarily replace the premium amount. “

Since there was no refund from Kanai, a staff member of the TV Hokkaido Business Bureau consulted with the police last September.
This April, the complaint was received and an investigation was being conducted.

Kanai denies the charges, saying, “I haven’t cheated on TV Hokkaido. I just consulted with TV Hokkaido and had them transfer the money.”

The police are planning to continue investigating the circumstances and how to spend the money.
